If you’re contemplating a trendy hair color, this is the perfect time to experiment and embrace a new, refreshing look. For a color pop to your hairstyle, check out these eight hair color trends of 2017:

Blorange

The trendiest hair color of the year is when blonde meets orange. This color hybrid ranges from soft pastel-like tones to a fiery sunset shade. The blorange around your face is particularly flattering because it highlights your face and flaunts the color. This combination complements both warm and cool skin tones, making it universal and flattering for all.

Color melt

The ombre was a big hit, but the color melt is the latest trend replacing ombre with its softer look. Unlike ombre, color melt creates a more natural transition from dark to light. There is no harsh transition, but rather a smooth look. This look is especially easy to do for those with ombre hair.

Bright blonde

Classic blonde hair never goes out of style, but this year it’s about being brighter and keeping highlights soft. Instead of chunky highlights, the roots of the hair remain close to the natural hair color, and fine strands of hair are softly saturated. The ends of the hair are where all the bright highlights are. And if you prefer lower upkeep, this is the hair color you want this year because the roots are so close to the natural color.

Reddish hues

If you’re a natural redhead or want to experiment with some red hues, then this is the year for it. Red tones are in. So if you already have red hair or red tint in your hair, ask your colorist to bring out those natural tones. For those looking to add some red into your hair, pick from a range of golden copper to a bright red for some spice to your hair color.

Gilded brunette

For brunettes, adding a touch of soft gold to the mid-length and tips of your hair will frame your face. This gilded touch creates a soft touch of gold highlights on dark brown hair color, providing a radiant look. This look is subtle and natural, yet fresh and sophisticated.

Seamless lines

If you prefer just highlights, go for seamless lines this year. Unlike traditional highlights, smooth lines blend the next shade of color gradually like color melt, creating soft lines instead of harsh contrasting ones. This kind of highlighting works for all hair colors and is low maintenance as well.

Cinnamon brunette

If you’re a brunette, consider adding a hint of red to your natural color. This color trend is officially called cinnamon brunette. Cinnamon Brunette is now considered the new blonde of 2017. Those with fair skin especially benefits from this because it adds warmth to the skin tone. The spicy red and deep brown combo creates a dramatic look and is refreshing for those wanting to highlight their natural brown.

The hair colors of 2017 are sexier and stronger than ever. Whether you’re a blonde, brunette or redhead, the hair color options are all unique and gorgeous in their own way. Start now by expressing yourself in one of these colors and you’ll be have heads turning wherever you go.
